NOSSAFLEX 4+

A nice interface with good editing features. A shame there’s no export to CSV though, this would be great for importing to spreadsheet or Lightroom. Maybe in a future version...

Thanks for the review! We have planned the functionality to go in, just not quite there yet. We know how important it is, so it's on the list!

This app doesn’t do anything. You have to add all your cameras and fill rolls manually, which is tedious only to access the light meter, which, by the way, doesn’t work at all. Also the app has no instructions on how to use it all all. Worthless. Don’t use this app.

Sorry you’re having issues with the app, but this is all opposite to the feedback we’re getting.

Yes, everything is manually because film photography is a manual process. If we could automate it, that would be digital photography!

Our app is not a lightmeter app, we have included a lightmeter to support the logging process.

We do appreciate the lack of instruction though, which we are fixing in the next up date with tips. We hope you give it another go - or even send us an email so we can help you better!

I use this app whenever I shoot film, and have logged almost 200 rolls with it since July 2021.

It does require some setting up — you have to add cameras and lenses to enable you to start logging rolls. But in the long run, this saves a lot of time.

Whether or not you find this app useful depends largely on how much you value “metadata” for your analogue shots. I’ve found it very handy for a number of things:

a) While shooting, the light meter acts as an additional tool to check my exposures. I don’t find it entirely predictable or reliable (which is true of every iPhone light meter I’ve tried), so I don’t rely on it, but it does give me a useful “second opinion”.

b) When I receive film from the lab, sorting it digitally and physically to match my filing system can be tedious, and having a quick digital reference for each shot on a roll lets me know what to rename the files I receive.

c) If I want to know what settings I’ve used for a given shot, I can easily go back in my logs to check, which lets me learn from my experience in a more quantifiable, tangible way.

Overall, logging my shots has helped me understand my equipment and lenses better, sped up my filing workflow, and added metadata to images that is normally not available when shooting film, including location.

There are certainly additional features and improvements I’d like to see, but the team behind the app are responsive and creative, and I have no doubt that there’s more to come from this great little tool that I use all the time. Thanks folks!

Such an awesome use case — and for years! Thanks a heap for the review, makes working on this little project worth it 🥹
